What Is The Best White Surface To use In Macro Photography?
 

I need to do macro shots of a few things on a white surface.

Without getting into a 'camera' based discussion, I want to ask you photographers, what's the best surface to use in macro shots... or what would be a good type of surface to neutralize glare without reflecting but still allowing the object to cast its shadow.

Am I making sense?

any advice will do.

thick white beautiful paper .

white felt should work ok, I'd say marble but that could case a lot of glare depending upon flash/lighting

I'm not a professional photographer by any means but I would have to agree with this one.

When I did my ebay stuff I always made sure to either use white or black felt and it made my products look sweet :)

Plexi glas for back lighting or cheep poster board since its small.

Don't forget the small reflectors and flags to add/subtract light.

Shooting 8x10??

lol

you can use some macro flashes - works excellent

i've got a pasty programmer friend who's probably the purest white color you can get to... i'm sure he'd let you use his back :thumbsup

Backlit white plexan with built in curve so there are no hard corners.
